Hindustani Vocal Concert - Padmini Rao

Padmini Rao studied under Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar, the Dhrupad and Rudra veena maestro. She received her master's degree in music from SNDT University in Mumbai, India, under the guidance of Padma Bhushan, Dr. Prabha Atre. Padmini has been Dr. Atre's student for over 20 years. Her music is thus a blend of two of India's most enchanting musical streams: the dhrupad and the khayal.
